Starship EVO News

A new feature has been added for shipyards: they can unspawn and spawn it back player ships.
This is a feature needed for survival as the Starter Block is able to spawn ship only in creative.
As I know (an love ^^) my community I made sure to make it so you integrate this feature into custom 3d print builds.

Features:
- Unspawn and Spawn features a neat 3d printing animation.
- For now it is free, but you will need to register your ship for a cost for survival (wip)
- You can link the shipyard to a piston/slider to sync its height to create a nice 3d printer build.
- You can select several shape for the plane: quad, quad bevel, circle, hexa, octagon, triangle. It should fit most design you have in mind!
- Ship saved form a player ship bank that can be spawn at any custom or NPCs shipyard (if the shipyard is large enough)
- You can link a display to the shipyard to integrate the interaction point more cleanly into your build.
- Control the effect color by painting the shipyard block.

Todo: Registration mechanism (we need to compute the "insurance" price of a ship first).
Other features will be linked to that, for example to bring back a lost ship.

Limitation: Although having too shipyard printing at the same time will work from a gameplay point of view,
the animation wont render well.

Fixes:
#6314 can complete Cargo Retrieval mission

Thanks for playing!

A few new additions that will bring for life to the word:
- A new cargo retrieval mission: you are tasked to find a few lost storage containers and bring back their items.
- Debris fields will spawn in the world. Thanks to ProPeach and Tackietacktack for the build!
- Last but not least, KTS, a new cargo faction has been added thanks BigBadKangaroo!
It contains 3 ships including some large haulers, and 3 kiosks. Exciting stuff!

Fixes and improvements
- The holomap has been improved
- automatic docking has been improved
